Supporting the Brook Sanctuary

The Brook Sanctuary is returning nature to the Nelson Region. They are undertaking a very ambitious and visionary project, and amongst other very important projects they are currently working on raising funds to place a 14km predator-proof fence that will create a 700ha native wildlife experience close to Nelson’s city centre.

The Bowater Motor Group are right behind them on this project, and we have injected our own support during the initial public fundraising phase of the project by enabling them to have a campaign office downtown in the heart of Nelson.
